Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA's)

Aspire Credit Union offers both Traditional and Roth IRA options for our members. IRAs are a great way to invest in your retirement needs; we offer several options to open and grow your IRA with us. For educational expense planning, we also offer Coverdell ESA’s (Educational Savings Accounts).

 IRA Basics

 

  • The Federal Government determines the contribution limits allowed each year.
    • The annual contribution limit for 2024 is $7,000, or $8,000 if you’re age 50 or older.
    • The annual contribution limit for 2025 is $7,000, or $8,000 if you’re age 50 or older.
  • The total contribution limits, to either your Traditional and/or Roth, cannot be more than your taxable compensation for the year.
  • Your Roth IRA contribution may be limited based on your filing status and income. Be sure you review your contribution limits.
  • To learn more, contact a Member Experience Coordinator to understand if your income is eligible for Traditional and/or Roth IRA contributions

Wondering which IRA is best for you?

i

Traditional IRA

If you anticipate being in a lower tax bracket in your retirement years, a Traditional IRA may be your best fit.

 

  • Contributions may be fully or partially tax deductible depending on your filing status and income.
  • Withdrawals prior to age 59 ½ may be subject to the IRS early withdrawal penalty.
  • Traditional IRA owners must begin taking required minimum distributions (RMD’s) after reaching age set by the federal government.
l

Roth IRA

If you anticipate being in a higher tax bracket in your retirement year, a Roth IRA may be for you. 

 

Contributions made while in a lower tax bracket during working years will grow tax-free for retirement down the road.
Qualified distributions may be distributed tax-free.

  • Roth contributions are on an after-tax basis, and not taken as an income tax deduction.  Therefore, these are generally not taxed when distributed.
  • Grows tax free.
  • Withdrawals prior to age 59 ½ may be subject to the IRS early withdrawal penalty.
